Maura Higgins Addresses Romance Rumours On The Late Late

We all know that she's not one to hold back and Maura Higgins put an end to chatter about her relationship status while chatting to Patrick Kielty on Friday.

Rumours have been swirling over recent months that the 33-year-old has been dating stuntman Bobby Holland-Hanton with him even flying out to Fiji while she was filming Love Island USA.

Quashing any more speculation that may surround the two, Maura confirmed to Patrick: 'I am no more single. Very happy relationship.'

'He's with you tonight?' the host went on to ask Maura. 'He is. He's there somewhere,' she replied. Patrick then called Bobby a 'good-looking divil' which Maura quickly agreed with and replied: 'Oh he is.'

Maura and Bobby were first linked in May when they were seen leaving Marylebone's Chiltern Firehouse together. They were then seen looking loved-up by the poolside in Ibiza over the summer.

Elsewhere during her appearance, the 33-year-old presenter reflected on the busy year she's had, calling 2023 'pretty insane.'

'It's been such an incredible year,' Maura said, speaking of her hosting stint on the Love Island Games and Love Island USA over the summer.

She revealed: 'The conversation started in March. A lot of back and forth. I didn't really know what was going to happen, what my role was going to be.'

'It was new for them as well. They've never had a social host and I was very lucky to host a guest host slot on Love Island USA and then I did another three in Love Island Games.'

She also opened up on her progressing career and the effect it's had on her life.

Maura said: 'Obviously, my life has changed with my whole career and everything. But one thing about me is I'll always stay honest and that's never going to change if anything I'm probably worse the older I get. I'm probably more honest I feel like the older you get you just really don't care.

Maura also reflected on her life before Love Island, revealing to host Patrick that she once 'struggled to pay for heating,'
